Both countries appeared to intensify their attacks in this latest round, expanding the scope or number of targets. The U.S. military said overnight that it had struck more than 170 targets in Iran during the previous 48 hours, a significant uptick. And Jordan — which hosts some U.S. military forces but had not been a focus of Tehran’s ire in recent flare-ups — said it had intercepted Iranian missiles in its airspace. Iran also said it had fired at U.S. targets in the Gulf nations of Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain. It was unclear whether the fighting would continue to worsen. Iran threatened on Thursday to expand its attacks to other American military facilities in the region, a day after President Trump said he thought the cease-fire was “over,” even as he suggested he was still open to peace. Iran said 14 people had been killed and 78 injured in the latest round of tit-for-tat strikes, which began after Washington accused Iranian forces of targeting commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. military said its strikes had focused on military targets on the Iranian coast to degrade the threat to commercial shipping in the strait. Iran has not directly taken responsibility for strikes in the waterway, but has insisted that ships adhere to a designated route through its own territorial waters. Iranian authorities said that U.S. strikes overnight had hit a stretch of railway connecting Tehran to the northeastern city of Mashhad, where Iran’s slain supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was expected to be buried later on Thursday. The claim could not immediately be verified, and the U.S. military had no comment. The burial on Thursday follows days of funeral ceremonies for Ayatollah Khamenei, who was killed in U.S.-Israeli strikes at the start of the war. The events have been meticulously stage-managed by Tehran across several cities to project national unity and defiance to Iran’s enemies. Hours before the latest overnight U.S. strikes on Iran, Mr. Trump dismissed further talks on a long-term peace deal as “a waste of time,” and Iran’s top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, warned, “Hit, and you’ll be hit.” But as he flew back to Washington, Mr. Trump said that Iran had called him because they “want to make a deal so badly.” Iran has not signaled publicly that any new negotiations are underway.
